Discussing these rules be says:
l know it will be said that these rules
are narrow, and would exclude a large
proportion of the stock OF almost every
breeder, thus affecting private interests
in a ruthless manner. This must be
admitted. But should not the aim of the
standard be to protect the public interest
rather than to advance private enter
prisess Is it Iet fact that all breeders
have more or less positive trash, to say
nothing of young animals whose indIvid1-

doubtful? And shall such be admitted

The Armv Of Smnkers


Every now and then some careful stats
tician in a strong desire to point a
moral or adorn a tale" figures up the
amount of cigars and other compounds
of tobacco smoked by the dear public of
the United States. The American Grocer,
is the lightning calculator this time.
Among other interesting results Of its
Investigations it finds that last year tax
was paid upon 3,5I0,S98, 469 cigars. The
average smoker i content with a cigar
worth $50 per thousand, or one that re-
tails at five cents. On that basis there an
nually goes up in smoke $50 100000 or
$15,OOO,OOO every month, or half a million
dollars every day. Ia addition boys waste
on cigarettes S6,50O0 900, and those who
prefer pipe a further sum of $4,000
OGO.
The Grocer reply ing to the question.
How many smoke! declares that if we
deduct from the total population as non
smokers all children under Is, constitut-
ing 40 per cent, of the total population
of G0,G0C Coo, it leaves $4,000, 900, of whom
One-half are females; deducting these
gives a male population, above the age of
10, of 100000 If six out of every ten
N lles above the age of Is smoke, it means
ILieb LO,oOO,OOo PERSONS consume 0,OlU,-
$685. 88 cigars, or an average per smoker
of 324 cigars per annum. This is less
than one cigar per day. The average
smoker, however, is not apt to be content
ed with daily allowance of one cigar,
demanding at least two. If the latter
basis is the nearer correct, the army of
cigar smokers would be 4,8O9, 449, being
8 per cent. of the total population above
the age of Il.
Whatever the number of smokers, it is
a moderate estimate TO place the cost of
smoking TO the people of the United
States at $206, 100000. If the cost of
chewing tobacco is added, the total ex-
penditure for tobacco reaches $256,5OO,-
600; that is a sum that represents per
capita tax of 1914 per anum. If the
number of smokers is 4,8O9, 449, the aver
age expense of smoking is $4,000, each per
annum; if the number is 100000, the
cost is S26,64 per individual; if 10,SOO,-
600, it falls to $l9,12, sum sufficient to
afford one five cent cigar daily, and leave
a balance of eighty-seven cents for extras.

A Successful Invention.

Mr.. George w. Stockley, President Of
the Brush Electric Company Of Cleve-
land, says:
In the last three months we have
placed over 100000 worth of apparatus
in the East. We are reaching out to
Europe, South America, Australia,
China and Japan.
The original capital of our company
was 100000. 1t has been raised at diff
ferent times until it is now $4,000, 900;
the last increase was made for the pur-
chase of Mr.. Bush's patents He is now
under contract to furnish us all of his
new inventions as long as the company
is in existence, and while he is alive.
That means a good deal, for he is only
a young man, much under 40 years of
age, and as ambitious to produce new
results as when he was a struggling in
ventor.
The latest new field of operation has
been in the direction of motors. the
power for which may be located at long
distances away from the place of action.
They require such motors in mines, and
the same systems can be operated upon
street railroads. We have just shipped
a number of motors to Denver, to be
used upon a street railroad. In mining
the engines which supply the power
may be located mile or two away from
the place where the power Is used.
